This looks like a really good deal. http://www.newtek.com They are offering Lightwave 8.5 with a free upgrade to 9.0 plus Vue 5 Infinite…for $795.00 I have not used LW since version 3.0 or so, but Vue 5 infite alone retails for about $600.00 I’m not too sure how LW handles displacements though.
I got that bundle and I’m going through hell. VUE 5 shipped with a bunch of bogus pre-serial numbers. They never entered them into their database so the software is unusable. Newtek has done what they can but E-ON the software makers has taken the tough luck stance and refuses to do anything about it. I spent a week and hours of tech support with no luck. The couple of times I talked to E-ON they were surly to the point of obnoxious and claimed it wasn’t there problem. Newtek can’t fix the issue because it has to do with the E-ON database. Total nightmare. Can’t say enough bad about E-ON they have zero customer support and their moto seems to be buyer beware. If you haven’t wasted your money don’t. Right now I’m trying to get my money back. The software is is a mini frisbee at this point.
Thank you for the heads up. I chose not to purchase the LW bundle after doing some research. I’m sorry your having trouble with E-On.
